Payroll that's right. Every time. Without you checking.
Award-compliant payroll processing with specialist review on every pay run. STP lodged, super submitted, compliance handled.
The Reality
Payroll is the task most business owners dread.
It's not just pressing a button --- it's interpreting Modern Awards, calculating penalty rates for different shift patterns, tracking leave accruals, managing super contributions, lodging STP, and hoping you haven't missed a rate change that the Fair Work Commission published three weeks ago.
Get it wrong and you're facing underpayment claims, penalties, and reputational damage. Get it right and nobody notices --- which is exactly the point.
Without specialist review:
- Underpayment due to misinterpreting Modern Awards
- Missed Award rate changes and annual wage reviews
- Incorrect penalty rates for shifts or time of day
- Leave entitlements tracked incorrectly or forgotten
- Superannuation errors and missed payment dates
- STP compliance issues missed until ATO audit
- Underpayment claims that can cost thousands per employee

Any identified errors are corrected, including back-pay calculations if required. You start clean from day one.
Ongoing pay run processing
Each pay cycle, timesheets are processed, Awards are applied, and a specialist reviews the pay run for accuracy and compliance.

Frequently asked questions
Software processes the numbers. Valont provides a specialist who reviews every pay run against your Award, catches errors before they happen, manages rate changes proactively, and handles the compliance that software alone cannot. The software is the tool. The specialist is the safety net.
Common in businesses with mixed roles (e.g., hospitality with kitchen, front-of-house, and admin staff on different Awards). We configure each employee under their correct Award and classification. Multi-Award payroll is a core capability.
Automatically calculated based on your Award rules, employee classifications, and actual hours worked. Our system applies the correct penalty rates for time of day, day of week, and shift type. The specialist verifies calculations before approval.
The Fair Work Commission's annual wage review typically takes effect 1 July. We implement the new rates from the effective date across all affected employees, verify the changes, and confirm with you. You don't need to track this yourself.
We audit your current payroll during onboarding and fix any errors, including back-pay calculations where required. You start clean from day one.
Yes. Casual payroll is particularly complex --- different leave entitlements, loading calculations, termination requirements. This is where specialist review matters most.
If an underpayment issue arises, we can help assess the situation, calculate back-pay, and advise on remediation. Prevention is better than cure, which is why specialist review is so important.
Managed payroll is included in the Finance Hub subscription. Pricing depends on your employee count and payroll complexity. We'll provide a clear quote during onboarding.
